“So, that’s why she always went to the Sea of Quanta…”

  After causing pary-scale destru, Aleph came back to his reality. He was currently ihe Mu ti branch’s sparring area.

  “If she didn’t, I would have definitely caught her by now.”

  From the time Aleph saw Ling disappear on her own, he already uood how she aplished her spatial dispt (teleportation). It was more or less simir to what he did.

  The information dimension has something called ‘projes’. These were the maions of things—living or inani the physical world to the information dimension.

  What he did was to turn himself into a cept aer the information dimension himself. It was simir to ho drives worked in sci-fi literature. He entered a dimension and came out of it, thus achieving the purpose of traversing distances akin to spatial dispt.

  Only, Aleph found himself ‘anchored’ wheered from a physical world. His existeself carried unimaginable information. It resulted iire Earth beiroyed ihe training space.

  If he ehe information dimension from another dimension, such as the Sea of Quanta, the influence of his information would be carried over there.

  So long as Aleph and the Sixth Herrscher enter from a different ‘anchor’, they would find it difficult to interfere with each other, uheir information was plex enough.

  “I o ehe Sea of Quanta to deal with her. But then…”

  The prig sensation at the back of his neck became stronger. He had a bad feeling about going to the Sea of Quanta.

  In the first pce, it ce where bubble worlds sank into destru. These are the ‘possibilities’ that fell off the Imaginary Tree. It was a dimension, perhaps even ay, that plements the Imaginary Tree and forms a bah it.

  Aleph does not know what would happen if he went there in person.

  Theoretically, his Yamato could cut a pathway straight to it—even to the Imaginary Tree. The information dimension was no exception, though one o bee an ‘information’ to e. Without that pass, he wouldn’t be able to enter no matter what.

  “Ugh… Vill-V’s work has to be done soon. I have a feeling we’ll have results on Imaginary Spabsp;o's over.”

  *****

  Fmes.

  Endless fmes.

  Crimson fmes so hot they could burn someoh a touch. A dizzyiion followed .

  The sole high-level MANTIS with them was sent flying on a burning skyscraper. There was no doubt about his death. The few thousand people he tried to protect by terag the extreme heat soon began to be affected by the fmes themselves.

  If it wasn’t for the fact that the Herrscher did not emit any honkai energy, most of them would have ht turned into an undead at worst.

  Even so, these few thousand people who evacuated on the Fire MOTH branch soon fell into heatstroke. It wasn’t a normal one as their surroundings began burning.

  Rumble-!

  The few remaining MAried their best to salvage the situation. Some of them froze their surroundings, creating white steam oheir ice melted. Some others held the falling debris, making sure they would not harm the civilians.

  It was a chaotic se. Iably, the superstar who was supposed to perform became dazed.

  ‘These brave souls…’

  It was impossible not to be touched. Despite losing their captain, none of the MANTISes presereated. Their irregur horns, scales, and furry ears and tails did not matter.

  They are humans… fighting for humans.

  “Miss Eden, this way.”

  One of Eden’s bodyguards tapped her shoulder, waking her up. Aside from this group of bodyguards, there are three MANTISes whed her escort.

  She was currently headed to the underground shelter of this Fire MOTH branch. The same went for the other people. Everyone was frantically walking towards the only ‘safe’ zohey khough it was debatable whether it was truly safe.

  Thud-!

  Thud-!

  …

  Several people colpsed due to the intense heat. It wasn’t just them. More and more people colpsed to the ground.

  Creak-!

  Crack-!

  Some of these bodies were stepped over by the crowd. The squelg of their flesh and breaking of their bones was overpowered by the sounds of explosions outside.

  Such a sight chilled Eden down. It was only now did she see how far desperation could push others.

  The screams, wails, and explosions drowned out her songs.

  ‘... I still do something?’

  Her inner flict was halted when a sound akin to an explosio everyone.

  Boom-!

  Rumble-!

  The entire building swayed along the impact. The rumbling created ahquake enough to make others lose their bance.

  The sed, ‘something’ swept over them. The moment it did so, their injuries receded. All of the broken bones, pierced flesh, crushed ans, recovered to their previous state.

  This bewildered everyone, creating seds-long silence amongst the survivors.

  “Look… There… there’s no longer any fire outside!”

  One of the shouts attracted Eden’s attention. When she previously saw the sery on a rge window, it depicted a crimson hell.

  Now, only the burnt infrastructure remaihere were still small to medium-sized fires present, but the crimson hell was no longer.

  “Shit. Shit. Shit. This must be Sir Aleph. Yes, the captain told us there would be reinforts..!”

  Nearly everyone ihis building knew h was. His feats of defeating the fifth Herrscher alone, as well as ing nearly all of the emperor-css honkai beasts in the Eastern ti restige matched by no one.

  “Sir Aleph…” Eden muttered.

  She looked at her surroundings. The previous bleak and dreary atmosphere was quickly turned into a hopeful one.

  “He should be able to deal with that Herrscher, right?”

  “Of course he ! He make earthquakes this strong!”

  “That was him? How you be so sure?”

  Although the chaos did not die down pletely, these people walked towards the shelter in a slightly more anized way. Basically, nobody died due to the stampede anymore.

  The surviving MANTISes soon received a new directive from their current ag captain—Hua.

  “Listen! We are going to walk slowly towards the underground shelter. Then, we will board the carrier ships one by one.”

  “The threat outside has bee by Sir Aleph. Only the evacuation remains. I repeat, stay calm…”

  In such a manner, everyone mao do the evacuations properly. Ohe nearly twenty-thousand survivors stepped into the underground shelter, the floor moved further down the basement level. The carrier ships were desigo withstareme enviros and were pced beh each Fire MOTH bran the entire world. These were the culmination of their years of preparation.

  At the very least, the ships are enough to aodate more than a huhousand survivors theoretically. It was far more than what the number of survivors in a sario like this could be, but the Fire MOTH analysts ated for other factors. They were proven right this time around.

  Eden thought of everything she had seen up until they boarded the carrier ship.

  ‘Brilliance like the sun… He is the true star.’

  A single man ged the outes of many. Her curreation paled pared to his. Her music brought soce; his power ehe flict from the get-go.

  Thinking of her own powerlessness in the face of this despair, Eden became determio ge this status quo.

  ‘If… If I do something…’
